Every time I think that I might want to buy these ludicrously expensive BD sets, I just think of all the nonsense throwaway episodes that clutter TNG, like the one in which Barclay sees aliens while transporting. Like, who gives an eff about Barclay?

However, Best of Both Worlds on Blu-Ray is something I'm interested in.

As much as I like this show I just can't bring myself to buy the BDs. I've seen every episode multiple times over the years and the cost is such that it doesn't make sense. It's on TV in HD over here now as well (albeit lagging behind the BD releases) and Netflix also has it in SD. I did buy the standalone Best of Both Worlds though, as that is one of my favourite two-parters.
